“Tribes” is written by Catherine Macphail. Tribes is a book about boys getting in to gangs, whether they want to or not. The two main gangs in Tribes are Rebels and The Tribes – “once you join this gang, you’re in for ever”. The Tribe is the gang that wants the main character, Kevin Davidson, to join them, but Kevin doesn’t like gangs, doesn’t like the idea of someone being his leader. Kevin lives with his mother, father and his little sister.
Kevin is determined that he'll never join a gang but his path crosses the Tribe's when he saves one of them from a rival gang. Invited to take their initiation test, Kevin plans to break the oath of secrecy and tell everyone. But he falls under the spell of the gang leader, Salom, and becomes a member. Kevin then discovers how hard it is to break away from the Tribe's rules and Salom's power, for when he's challenged Salom always makes you sorry. In this case he fastens on to Kevin's little sister. Glory, Kevins little sister, wants to join the Tribe but Kevin don’t let her. But in secret Salom makes Glory join, but too late Glory discovers, it is too hard to join. Glory sits between life and death, totally paralyzed and don’t know what to do. Then Kevin is forced to do the initiation test again for his sisters’ safety
